Flesh and Bones

Bone of his bones
And flesh of his flesh
Borne into this world
At mankind’s behest
To stand at his side
But lie underneath
I’m the ‘other’ half
He is the blade, I am the sheath

To have and to hold
Cherish and obey
(at)Tend when he’s sick
And stay when he strays
For better, for worse
Must honour the vow
As he claims his love
Absolves his every sin somehow

But beneath it all we’re
Just flesh and bones

Bone of my bones
And flesh of my flesh
Born of my pain
Yet made of my best
You are my blood
The life that I give
A part of my whole
For you I dream, I fight, I live

Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
To earth we’ll return
When our time is up
There’s dirt in our veins
Though he’ll say it ain’t so
Throw mud on our names
But watch us as we bloom and grow

See beneath it all we’re
Just flesh and bones

Bone of his bones
And flesh of his flesh

Bone of my bones
And flesh of my flesh

Bone of our bones
And flesh of our flesh
We raise this world
At no man’s request
We’ll not stand aside
Nor lie underneath
We’re no ‘other’ half
We are the blade, we are the sheath

And to make us all it takes
Is flesh and bones

And within us all that lies
Is flesh and bones
Flesh and bones
Flesh and bones
